Presented in a fine compact edition that fits in the hand, with two-color printing, a sewn binding, and a foil-stamped dust jacket over a laminated cover, this inspirational anthology collects entries from some of the world's oldest works of wisdom and philosophy. It includes writings from the contrasting traditions of Confucianism and Taoism, the Chan (Zen) literature of the early Chinese masters, the sutras of Chinese Buddhism, and Chinese poetry, as well as commentary from thinkers of the modern era.
